This magical kitchen device, which appeared in our culinary arsenal in recent decades, has greatly facilitated the lives of many housewives and home cooks. Judge for yourself - you just need to choose the right cooking mode, put the food in the bowl and the appliance will cook everything yourself, and even notify you with the final signal that you can try the dish! Stewed chicken in a slow cooker is probably the easiest way to cook poultry from all known. It is prepared easily and simply - there would be a desire and a fresh, high-quality, not frozen product.
Multicooked Braised Chicken
The recipe can be successfully implemented even by the most inexperienced cook. In principle, recommendations can be stated literally in two sentences. It will look something like this: put chicken in the bowl of the multicooker, salt / pepper according to individual preference, turn on the "Stew" mode with the appropriate timer, wait for the dish to be ready, which you will be happy to notify with a special signal. No additives, in general, to meat are required. The chicken is cooked in its own juice and is therefore soft, juicy. To enhance the aroma, you can add a few cloves of crushed garlic and not spare the seasonings - they need to grate the main ingredient.
You can successfully use this recipe regardless of the model and manufacturer of the device. A stewed chicken in a slow cooker will be perfectly cooked in "Redmond" or "Polaris", "Mulinex" or "Philips". Are you ready to start? Then let's get started!
Ingredients
We will need chilled chicken (about a kilo and a half), 3-5 cloves of garlic, a little salt, seasoning to your taste (you can take a ready-made set of spices for poultry or grill). That’s all wisdom.
Some features
Of course, stewed chicken in a slow cooker is the simplest dish you can cook. But to further simplify the task, you can buy a finished product. For example, legs or thighs, wings (or both, and the third is a mix). You need to spend a few moments to wash the "spare parts", put them in a bowl from the multicooker, select the appropriate mode. And you can continue to calmly engage in other kitchen affairs. Or, conversely, go to the promenade to whet your appetite. Even when you linger, it's okay: after completing the program, the smart appliance will stop the main mode and switch to heating so that the juicy food does not cool down to your arrival.
Recipe step by step
- The prepared parts of the carcass are put in a bowl. There is no need to lubricate the surface - the chicken in the "Stew" mode will not be able to burn in any case. You can only add half a glass of water or broth - at will.
- Now take the cloves of peeled garlic. Finely chop with a knife (you can grate or crush with a special device). Sprinkle chicken.
- Add salt and seasonings. Mix the products directly in the bowl. Close the lid of the appliance by turning on the “Extinguishing” mode (1 hour).
- Here's the whole stew chicken recipe. The finished pulp is juicy, has an aroma of spices, goes well with a side dish and vegetables.
With cabbage
Braised cabbage with chicken in a slow cooker - a wonderful dish! Sauerkraut has a lot of usefulness, besides it perfectly sets off the taste of meat. And if the bird caught too oily, then the excess fat pulls on itself.
The cooking process looks no less simple than in the first recipe. We prepare the chicken parts and seasoned with salt and spices in a bowl and turn on the “Stewing” mode for an hour. After half an hour, add a pound of sauerkraut to the chicken (you can with onions or berries - it will be even more piquant). Close the lid again and wait for the final signal.
With potatoes and sour cream
Chicken stew in sour cream in a slow cooker is a slightly more complicated, rich dish. It is self-sufficient, since the added potato serves as a side dish. And sour cream sauce is a great and delicious gravy.
- A kilogram of legs (wings or thighs) is added to the multicooker bowl, after sprinkling with spices and salt.
- We turn on the "Extinguishing" mode (1.5 hours). After half an hour, open the lid and add a glass of not too fat sour cream to the chicken. Close the lid and continue to quench.
- In the meantime, prepare the tubers (kilogram). Peel the potatoes, wash them and cut them into large pieces (can be diced or left whole if young and small).
- 30 minutes before the end of the process, we introduce the last ingredient. Close the lid of the device and wait for the final signal.
- The stewed potato with chicken in the multicooker is ready, you can serve it to the table. Bon appetit to all!
